Wrote Parsons, a tight end from Chaparral: “Well Im no longer committed to Colorado still going to stay in contact with the coaches but I need to figure some things out #SoMuchOnMyMind”

Sparked by CU’s slow start, Parsons had been rethinking his commitment since September. CU is 1-6 this season, including a loss at home to FCS opponent Sacramento State. The Buffs lost to USC 50-6 last week and face Oregon this week.

“I’m kind of leaning — not leaning, but I’m kind of disappointed with how the season’s going right now,” Parsons told BuffStampede.com in September. Read more…

Mitch Parsons, one of Colorado’s three in-state commitments in its 2013 class, appears to be wavering a bit after CU’s disastrous 0-3 start.

In an interview with BuffStampede.com following Chaparral’s 38-10 win over Legacy on Friday, the senior tight end said, “I’m solid — at the moment. I’m kind of leaning — not leaning, but I’m kind of disappointed with how the season’s going right now. But that’s expected. As of now, I’m solid, yeah.”

Colorado State’s in-state football haul for the class of 2013 has added another kid. The latest addition is Bear Creek offensive lineman Jake Bennett, who committed to the Rams over the weekend.

“Nobody could really match kind of the intensity that they bring, and the positive attitude that they have toward the program,” Bennett told The Post today. “They also have (new head coach Jim) McElwain, which nobody else has.”

He said being close to home “was a factor. I didn’t want to go too far. But CSU was just the right place for me.”

The 6-foot-3, 265-pound Bennett is CSU’s second commit, following Grand Junction defensive end Austin Berk, who pledged on March 23.
